What is x when 35 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 35 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 62 = 0.56451612903226

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.56451612903226: 35 0.56451612903226 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

35 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 35 x x = 62 x
  2. 35 x x is equivalent to x x × 35 , which simplifies to 1 × 35 (or just 35 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 35 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 35 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.56451612903226 = x (or x = 0.56451612903226 )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.56451612903226.
